This is one of the best charity shops on the city! It's great! It's like a jumble sale, but with…read morethings you would actually want. On the summer days, like today, they put boxes and racks of stock outside the front of the shop; making it feel like a garage sale. I challenge anyone to walk past on a day like today and not be forced to stop and have a look at the piles of stuff. It's a large charity shop as far as they go, with a huge variety of bits & pieces, like cameras and electronic goods to clothes, furniture and books. I already found a great old cannon camera I'm thinking about going back for tomorrow. The staff I met were all very young and will help you look for things that you can't find on the shop floor. They will also go and check the mountains of donations in the back room for you as well.

The shop has the most colourful display window I have ever seen and a mountain of cuddly toys at the front of the shop ensures that mothers will be dragged in by their children. Most charity shops have racks of clothes to browse but this charity shop makes the whole process so much easier. The shop is divided into colours -an orange rack, a green rack, a yellow rack etc. Shirts, trousers, skirts and dresses of the same colour are held together which is extremely useful, especially if looking for a particular colour for fancy dress or for a top to match your new shoes. I definitely recommend this brilliant rainbow shop!

One of the charity's newest shops and you can tell - beautifully laid out and with everything well displayed. I particularly liked the mannequin with the necklaces on. They have a nice selection of nick nacks and the clothes are of a high quality - they have some of the higher end of the high street labels in here.

I can easily find t-shirts and jeans here including some good brands. The shop is nicely laid out with clothes organised by colour first and size second.

Odd shop this one. As some of the items are seriously overpriced and then others are quite cheap…read more The most of the staff are friendly but the manager seems a bit rude and seems to treat some customers with some suspicion esp if you ask for any new stock from the massive store room out in the back..

This shop in particular you should look at the spinning display in the window - it is where they put donated objects and antiques and I found here vintage jewellery and cameras. Be warned though - buy it when you see it as they have a quick turnover on this stand!

A large charity shop that really knows how to dress a window to pull in the punters. Lots of new clothes, particularly jeans, jumpers and t-shirts plus bric a brac. They also have a good selection of books including some that must have been donated by media students!

The staff is quite good at selecting the best quality items to go out on the floor for sale, and you can get a lot of bargains, especially if you become a regular. They sell clothing, jewellery, toys & games, videos, DVDs, books, bric a brac as well as collectibles and the occasional small electrical goods and small furniture items. The staff are friendly and cheery, and there is a changing room to try on clothes. Look for the seasonal items on display at the appropriate times of the year. The proceeds and donations help support the 2 hospices set up to help terminally ill patients and their families.

I can appreciate how women (maybe not young woen) would like looking at all the dainty ornaments and quite, well, interesting ladies clothes. It's all for a good cause so pop in next time your passing, you never know what you might stumble accross.

These guys are absolute mavericks! At least, that is, in the world of charity shopping…read more They've only gone and put the accessories (the old crockery and such like) at the front of the shop right as you walk in. If that wasn't off-the-hook enough they've constructed a sort of front-to-back rail for all their clothes thus converting the whole shop into two mega aisles. It's harder perhaps to find the bargains you want this way but it's much more fun, and very different. The rebels.

For example little signs on the roof mark out what is in what aisle. The men's range, once you locate it, is a decent assortment of really quite good clothing. I've bought many good shirts from these guys as well as a few nice hats. The rest of the stock is similar; easy to find and good quality. Little more you could ask for really.

I LOVE charity shops and Fishponds Road has plenty to choose from which is great…read more Okay so this one isn't full of hidden treasures and no it doesn't have a great shop layout or stylish front window design BUT what Barnardos does do well is everything is £1.99 so you can really pick up a bargain. I went there looking for some light natural trousers for an up and coming holiday and came away with a 100% cotton pair from M&S that looked brand new and a linen pair and only spent £3.98!!! So all you other charity shops out there with your fancy layouts and store windows, take a leaf out if Barnardos book. It may be like a jumble sale in there but it's cheap and that's what I want from a Charity shop!
